He's certainly got the skills but he >plays a lot of really crap records at times and he's always very >commercial and accessible - doesn't take a lot of risks. I know he can >rock a party and all that but I'm not into the music he plays... I would have to concur after seeing him @ The End in London, when he played progressive house 'til me ears bled. :< and @ the Metro in Chicago when he housed it up for a while (which was fabulous) then moved into the progressive stuff. In my mind, that certainly wasn't a very good read of the crowd - he was in Chicago, after all. And Tom's spot on about the risk-taking. Not a whole lot of innovation, even if the mixing is flawless, almost inspiring. And one more thing: WHY does he spin with Jim Masters so much? Must be his mate or something. He blows! I was tortured by him on both of the occasions above. This guy has *nothing* to offer to the world of electronic music.
